Re-tubing Of Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

TREAT AIR has Extensive Experience in the On-site Re-tubing Field. Using Superior Tooling, Qualified Personnel and proper Written Procedures, TREAT AIR Ensures that your Retubing Project is Performed Correctly. This assures you that the Heat Exchanger or Condenser is Returned to its Original Condition, Ready for years of Service. During our Retubing Process we insure you will not have any Units that Fail Prematurely due to Improper Installation.

Examples of Improper Installation include:
Tubes Rolled Past the Tube Sheet leading to Failure at the Tube-to-Tube Sheet Joint
Tubes scored or Cut During the Installation leading to Failure as a result of Reduced wall Thickness
Tubes Improperly Rolled using improper Torque Settings leading to Tube-to-Tube Sheet Leaks

TREAT AIR will Document the Entire Retubing Process, including Documentation to where each lot of Tubes is located. This is Important if the Metallurgy of one Heat of Raw Material Leads to Premature Tube Failure.


The Efficiency of Heat transfer Equipment Drops when the Flow Rate of Fluids Dropped below the Designed values. In ships, large Boilers, Heat Exchangers and Condensers have little Opportunity for Servicing, and Corroded Tubes must be Replaced. Retubing Offers a Cheaper and Faster Solution to withdrawing the Equipment from service. Refurbishment offers the Equipment a new lease of life.
